Will liam O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, against the sentence of three months i'm prisonment imposed upon him by the Mitch- elstown court has been refused and the sentence of the lower court confirmed. The charge on which MT. O'Brien was convicted was of using seditious language, under the crimes act, at National league meeting at Mitchelstown. The sentence of Mr. Msnde- vile, chairman of the board of poor law guardians of Mitchelstowp, was also con frmed and he was taken into custody Mir. Vaudeville was jointly indicted with MT. O'Brien for using seditious language at 8 meeting at Mitchelstown, and was sentenced to two months imprisonment A most exciting scene ensued in the court room at Middleton when the decision confirming the sentence of the Mitchelstown court was announced, resulting from MT. O'Brien's attempt to leave the building to speak to his friends. The inspector of police refused to let him go. MT. O'Brien insisted on his right and had a struggle with the police, when they stopped him. MT. Harrington
 
 useless to resist the police he returned to the solicitors table and shouted for justice, de- claring that Mir. O'Brien could not be legally arrested as no warrant had been signed. The recorder sided with MT. Harrington and eaid that Mir. O'Brien should go. Mr. Stokes, the magistrate, thereupon shouted, ''Do not let him go; will be responsible for the con- sequences" MT. Harrington then exclaimed at the top of his voice, 'fSee how justice is done: the judges authority is de6ed." There were cries of "Let him outl" and a fierce struggle ensued between the people and the police guarding MT. O'Brien. Meanwhile the magistrate had signed warrant for the ar rest of Mr. O'Brien and he was removed to the rear of the court house in custody. Later MT. O'Brien and Mir. Vaudeville, guarded by hussars, were placed in car. The crowd cheered them as they emerged from the court house. The police cleared the streets and prevented any attempt at rescue. Priests as- sisted to keep the people in order. The pris- oners were taken to the Cork jail.
 The news of O'Brien's coming spread like lightning through Cork and as result the streets through which it was supposed he would pass were packed with people when he arrived. The vicinity of the prison was oc cupied by a strong force of armed police. Fully one hundred cars followed the car oc- cupied by MT. O'Brien, which was driven rapidly through the city to the prison. Sev- eral collisions and other accidents occurred, but nobody was seriously injured. On arriving at the prison MT. O'Brien compelled the police to remove him forcibly from the car. He was accompanied to the prison by the Mayor. Mr. Ahern, vice chairman of the board of guardians, tried to address the crowd from a vehicle, but the police fol bade any speaking. MT. Ahern then moved distance off and made speech without being molested. Then the crowd formed procession and marched away sing ing "God save Ireland.' Throughout tEe proceedings the widest enthusiasm was shown.
